| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed artistic rendering of the Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, depicted as a towering multi-tiered lighthouse surmounted by a standing figure, set against a dark polished field evoking the night sky. In the foreground, an ancient sailing vessel is shown at anchor before the lighthouse base, enhancing the historical narrative of the composition. The date 2017 and fineness AU .999 appear to the right of the lighthouse in the mid-field. The upper legend PHARE DE ALEXANDRIE arcs along the top border, flanked by star ornaments, while the lower legend MERVEILLES DU MONDE DE L'ANTIQUITÉ curves along the bottom periphery, also flanked by stars. The overall design is executed in high relief with strong contrast between the frosted devices and mirror-polished fields. |
